City Nature Challenge highlights

Thank you to everyone who participated in the CNC this year - what a fabulous event!

I've put together a blog post on Greater Wellington highlights - it was difficult to choose as there were so many interesting finds and stunning photos. Congrats to those that made it into the post and bring on 2025!

I would like to note that we far exceeded last years individual records for number of observations (@wild_wind) and number of distinct species (@naturewatchwidow). I also note that, compared to last year, we had three fewer observers, whereas Christchurch managed to find 127 more! If we had just another 30 people contributing our average number of observations (66) we would have level pegged with Christchurch.

I have created a new umbrella project https://inaturalist.nz/projects/city-nature-challenge-wellington-all-years
